What we will do in this experience

Feel the raw, unfiltered passion of Berlin’s most beloved underdog club—1. FC Union Berlin. This pre-matchday experience takes you deep into the heart of Köpenick, where football is more than a sport—it’s a way of life. Walk through historic streets with a local fan, soak in the pre-game buzz in traditional pubs, and join thousands of loyal supporters as they march to the stadium.

Close to the Alte Försterei, you’ll witness one of the most intense atmospheres around the stadium at the Bundesliga: no loudspeakers, just pure fan energy, singing, standing, and living every moment as one.

Led by a local host, you’ll become part of a community that rebuilt its stadium with their own hands. Whether you’re a football lover or just curious about Berlin’s beating heart, this experience will stay with you long after the final whistle.

Hi, I'm Junior — born in Rio, based in Berlin. A lifelong Flamengo fan and proud 1. FC Union Berlin supporter, I live for the energy and stories that football creates. In Berlin, the game is more than just 90 minutes — it’s a shared experience that pulses through the city’s stadiums, streets, and fan pubs. Whether it's the iconic Olympiastadion or the raw, electric atmosphere of the Alte Försterei, I love guiding fellow football lovers through the traditions, chants, and neighborhoods that make Berlin’s football culture unforgettable. For me, football isn’t just a sport — it’s the soul of this city.
